Once I had to use all 150ft to get a hole in the trees and it still worked fine with the direct connection. After 3 years I do not see any downside in just running the cable through the window as it squeezes nicely into the rubber seal so bugs don't come in. It only takes me about 5 minutes to hook up unless I have to move it several times to find open sky (which is why I like it moveable).
Get the Winegard Satellite app for your phone. Using virtual reality, you can see the satellites in the sky. Makes placing the Dish easy.
